For the first time modern plug-in electric cars became available in U.S. in December 2010, the times when Nissan Leaf and Chevrolet Volt's first generation became available on the car market. After a short time president Barack Obama set the goal of putting 1 million plug-in cars on U.S. roads by 2015. This goal wasn't reached. In fact, U.S. electric-car sales have only just gotten halfway there. Combined U.S. sales of battery-electric cars and plug-in hybrids surpassed 500,000 units as of September, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Specifically, sales since ...
The 2017 Audi Q5 is the best SUV for you if you want a stylish and comfortable premium-compact crossover that’s available with one of the segment’s most potent powertrains. Audi US boss, Scott Keogh say that still, the first Q5 is the most successful Audi they have ever launched by far.

Volvo's CEO says that Volvo Car USA has turned the corner with two of its 90-series vehicles on sale and others due early next year. A U.S. sales increase of 29 percent through August is evidence that Volvo's gutsy revival strategy was the right choice.

Lex Kerssemakers says that the company is on a turnaround in the U.S. that started with the XC90. Volvo was starved for product for y...
The Department for Transport needs a new better strategy to increase the use of of ultra-low emission vehicles and reduce air pollution. In the last report revealed the Department says that a strategy would enable the DFT to meet decarbonisation and air quality targets. The chair of EAC said the uptake of ultra-low emission vehicles such as electric cars is too low to meet the US' climate change targets at the lowest cost to the public, all the air quality targets that should have been met in 2010 will be hit in 2020 at the earliest. It's been almost a year now since it'...
The 2017 Fiat 124 Spider is stylish, fun to drive and priced well under $30,000 for all but the top version. It's easily the best car in Fiat's four-vehicle U.S. lineup and a worthy successor to the storied original Fiat 124 Spider that debuted in November 1966. But the reincarnation of that iconic Italian sports car is built in Japan by Mazda. The two-seat convertible coupe -- powered by a turbocharged inline-four -- shares a platform with Mazda's MX-5 Miata, and the cars are built in the same plant. But the 124 Spider has a Fiat engine and transmission that together pro...
